Well I'd like to ask what happens if it's halfway through running through a long block, like Say “hi” for 50 seconds or a long custom block? Or just halfway through a script?

Lol, 3 pages of posts and everyone missed this duplicate.

Hi, I have an issue where I did not put any “repeat” block yet the programme keep rewinding and repeatedly play the sound. This is the issue:
1. When I received “Sebut-almari”, play sound “almari” till done.
2. When I recieved “Sebut-katil”, play sound “katil” till done.

I have tried to transfer the script to different sprite, use “broadcast ()” instead of “broadcast () and wait”, “play sound” instead of “play sound till done”. The scripts just repeat themselves.

Can any one please help me with this?

Please don't put this in a suggestion, put it in help with scripts.

This is an interesting idea, but I remember seeing somewhere a blaring issue with this.

repeat for (1) secs{
wait (2) secs
}::control

How would that work?

No Support.

It's a bit silly to no support based on a lack of knowledge.

Quite sure it would finish the current loop before stopping, so the block would take 2 seconds (despite specifying one).

Support!

How I would have it looking like is:

repeat for () seconds{
} :: control

This idea is useless. You can use the block repeat 30 times for a second. (A seconde = 30 tick)

That is unexact. Scratch runs at different speeds usually, not the exact same speed at all times. It may run 29 frames in one second and then 27 then 30, so it's not an exact amount of time. And with lag it will run a lot more slowly—if it is lagging to only 15-20 frames per second, then it will repeat for almost 2x too long.

no offence, but it is kinda easy.
here's the code:

reset timer
repeat until <(timer) = [200]>
say [your code here]
end

also, change “200” to whatever you want.

But what if you run one of these, and before it finishes, run another? It wouldn't work like you intended it to.

No support. There's a workaround for it.

reset timer
repeat until <(timer) > (x)>
if <not <(timer) > (x)>> then
...
end
end

Right lol.
I support this idea! All the workarounds have some issues, this is a purrrfect solution.
